Forums - Microsoft - XBox 360 Exclusives of 2008

CBeeks on 21 July 2008

The number of true 360 exclusives is tiny.

Almost everything will have better PC versions - easily pirated instead of 60 bucks, no online charges, mod support, increasingly much better graphics - leaving people with very little reason to pick up a 360. This is something Microsoft has completely blown. They have by far the smallest number of first party developers making true exclusive games that can only be played on a 360. I think Microsoft only has around 4 actual first party developers now. Rare, Lionhead, Turn 10, and that company doing that new Halo game. Nintendo has around 10, and Sony has around 20.

It's too easy for Microsoft to fall back on PC developers as a substitute for actual first party console only developers.

You created an account just to post that nonsense? I'll take the bait sir. Here's how many of those retail releases actually are only for 360 in 2008. 23! 23 releases are JUST on 360. Then there are another 17 they are sharing with the PC. Then there's 33 XBLA exclusive games coming out this year only on 360.

Just leave your post count at that measly number 1. There's no reason for you to go any further after that disasterous first post.

Then buy a PC and play them.

Bravo! Great rebuttal sir. Here I was thinking if you were going to quote me, it would be to respond and make a point, not to laugh nervously and hide in a dark corner, throwing insults like a monkey throwing dookie. So i'll assume you are in agreement with me that the 360 actually does have quite a few true exclusives this year and it isn't quite as "tiny" as originally thought.

He won't last long here, no worries. Thanks Onyxmeth! You're doing great work here.

Any chance you could put up a top 5/10 picks list for 2008 to help us focus on the really GOOD games?



Tease.

You mean like the top 10 exclusives or just the top 10 games in general, including multiplatforms?

Because everyone is deserves a warning first, you hereby receive one, but I'm pretty sure it won't be long before you're banned. Your second post is totally NOT acceptable.

 "10 of the best games for the Xbox360 in alphabetical order" The point is to mention them not really to rank them, just so people can easily spot the best games without having to pick through a long list.

@ Benga - Thanks! xD

Ok I get what you mean. Something along the lines of "The Author's Picks", huh? I can add that into the list today. That's no problem.
